 Travel insurance is designed to pay for the unexpected losses that can arise when things go wrong before or during a trip or vacation. Purchased from a private company or a tour operator, travel insurance can pay for things like vacation and trip cancellation, baggage damage, repatriation, accidental death, emergency medical and health expenses, travel interruptions and delays, evacuation and overseas funeral expenses, legal assistance, and more.
Some travel insurance policies provide further coverage for additional costs that vary between different providers. Various travel policies also offer separate insurances at specific costs such as for participation in high-risk sports (i.e. scuba-diving or skiing) or travel to high-risk countries (i.e. due to war or natural disasters) for the duration of your trip. |
